The experience is good so far.
Placements: The students who were placed are almost evenly placed. The highest package is 9 LPA, the lowest package is 2.5 LPA, and the average package is 3.5 LPA. Infosys, TCS, and Flipkart are the top recruiting companies so far. The top role offered is software engineer.
Infrastructure: The lab facilities are top-notch and Wi-Fi is always available 24/7. The lab is equipped with many computers with downloaded software. The lab is equipped with air conditioning. The library is equipped with digital facilities, and the manual library is filled with required books for every department. The food is good. There is good encouragement for sports.
Faculty: There are a lot of qualified teachers with profound knowledge. They are well qualified for their work and are very helpful in clearing students' doubts. There is a lot of industrial exposure, and the courses that are provided are very relevant to the curriculum. The pass percentage of students is nearly 80% per semester.
Other: I opted for this course because I have a lot of interest in electronics, and I have landed on this opportunity. I like studying this course and feel that it's very interesting. I wish there were more industrial exposure than now. Other than that, I really love it here. There will be hostel fests that are conducted, and many more educational events, such as Codeathon, etc.

This college is well-suited for those who only do two things study and eat.
Placements: I'm currently in 3rd year of my UG in B.Tech IT, according to my department super seniors who were passed out in the year 2025. The percentage of graduates who got placed in campus selection was about 60% with an average package of 4 LPA. The highest package of the academic year 2025 is about 12 LPA and the lowest package of 3 LPA the graduates placed. The top recruiting companies are Infosys and Virtusa. The percentage of internships is about 30% provided by some new kickstart companies. Top roles offered by our course are full stack engineer, support engineer, product developer, etc.
Infrastructure: The whole infrastructure of my course and hostel is not as good compared with other colleges. The whole infrastructure of the college is about 28 years old. It gives you a feeling of amateurness. The Wi-Fi will be provided for the whole college 24/7. But in the case of power off they don't have any backup. The labs are well-maintained but you will rarely get a chance to use the labs. The infrastructure of classes is pretty average more like an old room, with a digital board. I hardly remember spending time in the library in case you need your department's permission to use the library.
Faculty: Faculty members are pretty experienced and friendly too. You can easily get along with them. 60% of the course curriculum is set by Anna University and the rest 40% is provided by respective partner companies. The exams like unit tests and internals are held very often. The more interested you are the more chance that you will get a good opportunity. The semester exams are a little difficult because the question paper is set by Anna University members. The pass percentage is about 92% of our course.
Other: I chose this course based on my own interests. The best thing about this course is that you can understand how software engineering works. This college is very bad if you are expecting for good campus life. There are no fests, no events, and nothing at all. All you need to do is study and write exams. 80% of the crowd in the college is amateurs they don't know how the outer world is. There are certain rules that must be followed by the students. Men should not talk with women. No phones are allowed inside the campus. No extracurricular activities are conducted.

Review of Prathyusha Engineering College.
Placements: Approximately 85% to 90% of students were placed in our courses. The highest package is 12 LPA, and the lowest is 3 LPA. TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) and Infosys are among the top recruiters. Around 60% to 75% of students secured internships in web development and digital marketing.
Infrastructure: The campus provides a high-speed network for students and faculty. The labs are fully equipped, and classrooms have a few digital boards. The library has a full stock of books for reading. The hostel has 24/7 well-lit beds and study tables. The sports and games infrastructure is good.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable with good teaching quality. The curriculum is relevant and industry-oriented with practical exposure. Semester exams are moderately difficult, and the pass percentage is around 85% to 90%.
Other: I chose this course for a strong career opportunity and practical learning. The best things are skilled faculty and industry exposure. Improvements are needed in advanced labs and more internships. The campus has good fests, a friendly crowd, scholarships, and decent connectivity.

Placements: 95% of students were placed in this college. The highest package is 9 LPA, and the average package is 3.5 LPA, while the lowest package is 2.4 LPA. The top companies are Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, and Flipkart. There are companies such as BNT and One Yes also. Top roles offered are software training, HR, etc.

There is less scope.
Placements: About 40% of students have been placed each year. The highest package is up to 6 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Top roles are AI&this and ECE. Top recruiting companies are HCL, Zoho, Wipro, Ramco Systems, etc. Around 50 students get an internship from AI&this department. Top roles are offered at the very beginning level only.
Infrastructure: They provide internet access in labs. But there is no internet connection in hostels, which is so bad for this generation. The infrastructure of the hostels is good, but not many facilities are available here because it is located in a forest region.
Faculty: When you enter the first year, everything seems to be difficult. Teachers are qualified but not very helpful. Self learning is very important in this college. This course curriculum is not 100% relevant, but 70% is relevant. The entire syllabus can be learned in one night if you're capable, which is enough to pass.
Other: I chose this course because of the demand.
